“…Zeng et al (Zeng et al, 2013) also found identical trends using RPBE in the predicted formation energies of cubic ABO 3 perovskites with alkali/rare-earth metals at the A site (Na, K, La) and 3d/5d transition metals at the B site (Ti-Cu, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt). Furthermore, PBEsol has been employed to calculate the formation energies of cubic BaMO 3 (M = Ti À Cu) (Ghose et al, 2020), which shows consistency with the previous RPBE prediction ( Calle-Vallejo et al, 2010). Similarly, PBE-predicted formation energies of cubic ABO 3 perovskites (A = La, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; B = Ti-Ni) show reasonable agreement with the experimental values (Su & Sun, 2015).…”
